Definitions

  • Embodiments of this application relate to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a carrier aggregation-based demodulation method and apparatus.
  • CA Carrier Aggregation
  • LTE-A Long Term Evolution-Advanced
  • the CA technology can aggregate a plurality of consecutive or nonconsecutive component carriers (Component Carrier, CC), to form a wider spectrum for data transmission, thereby increasing a data transmission rate.

  • UE may send uplink data to a base station through an allocated PCC and SCC, and may report a periodic CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality indicator) to the base station.
  • CQI Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality indicator
  • three periodic CQI report mechanisms are specified in a CA scenario, including: 1. When uplink scheduling is performed on the PCC of the UE, a periodic CQI is sent on a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) of the PCC in a form of channel associated signaling, that is, there is periodic CQI channel associated signaling on the PUSCH of the PCC; 2. When no uplink scheduling is performed on the PCC of the UE but uplink scheduling is performed on the SCC of the UE, a periodic CQI is sent on a PUSCH of the SCC in a form of channel associated signaling, that is, there is periodic CQI channel associated signaling on the PUSCH of the SCC; and 3.

  • an inter-base station carrier aggregation scenario based on relaxed backhaul that is, a scenario in which there is a relatively high transmission delay
  • a transmission delay is greater than 2 ms
  • the secondary base station may not receive the PCC uplink scheduling result sent by the primary base station. Consequently, whether uplink scheduling is performed on the PCC cannot be determined, and whether there is periodic CQI channel associated signaling on the PUSCH of the SCC cannot be determined, either. Consequently, a correct demodulation format cannot be determined in advance.
  • the secondary base station when receiving, at the periodic CQI reporting moment, the uplink data transmitted on the SCC, the secondary base station does not learn a demodulation format used for demodulation.
  • the prior art provides an SCC scheduling avoidance method, that is, the secondary base station does not perform uplink scheduling on the SCC at the periodic CQI reporting moment, that is, the UE does not transmit uplink data on the SCC. Because uplink scheduling on the SCC is avoided at the periodic CQI reporting moment, the secondary base station does not need to demodulate the uplink data on the SCC at the periodic CQI reporting moment. However, in the method, a particular uplink scheduling opportunity is lost on the SCC, and consequently, an uplink data transmission rate is affected
  • embodiments of this application provide a carrier aggregation-based demodulation method and apparatus.
  • the present invention is set out in the independent claims whereas preferred embodiments and further implementations are outlined in the dependent claims, description and figures.

  • the base station 11 is a primary base station
  • the base station 12 is a secondary base station.
  • the two base stations can serve the UE 13 by using an inter-base station carrier aggregation technology. That is, the UE 13 may transmit uplink data to the base station 11 through a PCC scheduled by the base station 11, or may transmit uplink data to the base station 12 through an SCC scheduled by the base station 12; and when receiving the uplink data of the UE, the base station 12 may further send the uplink data to the base station 11, and the base station 11 processes the uplink data.
  • the base station 11 sends a PCC scheduling result to the base station 12, and the base station 12 cannot immediately receive the PCC scheduling result, and can receive the PCC scheduling result only after a transmission delay. Because of the transmission delay, after the secondary base station completes the uplink scheduling on the SCC, when needing to determine a demodulation format used for demodulating the uplink data on the SCC, the secondary base station may not receive an uplink scheduling result on the PCC that is sent by the primary base station, and consequently cannot determine a correct demodulation format in advance.
  • a maximum inter-base station unidirectional transmission delay is usually less than or equal to 4 ms.
  • the secondary base station when completing the uplink scheduling on the SCC at a CQI reporting moment, the secondary base station usually needs to determine, after 2 ms, the demodulation format used for demodulating the uplink data on the SCC, to prepare demodulation based on the determined demodulation format, and receives, after 2 ms, the uplink data that is sent by the UE on the scheduled SCC, and needs to perform demodulation based on the pre-determined demodulation format.
  • a time interval between the scheduling and determining of the demodulation format is 2 ms
  • a time interval between determining of the demodulation format and the demodulation is also 2 ms, and therefore, a time interval between the scheduling and the demodulation is 4 ms.
  • an inter-base station transmission delay is greater than 2 ms.
  • the primary base station completes the uplink scheduling on the PCC
  • the secondary base station completes the uplink scheduling on the SCC
  • the primary base station sends a PCC uplink scheduling result to the secondary base station.
  • the secondary base station needs to determine, based on the PCC scheduling result of the primary base station, the demodulation format used for demodulating the uplink data on the SCC, because a transmission delay between the primary base station and the secondary base station is greater than 2 ms, the secondary base station does not receive the PCC scheduling result of the primary base station at this time, and consequently, cannot determine the corresponding demodulation format in advance.
  • the secondary base station After 2 ms, when the secondary base station receives the uplink data that is transmitted by the UE on the scheduled SCC and needs to demodulate the uplink data, because the secondary base station does not determine the corresponding demodulation format in advance, the secondary base station cannot successfully demodulate the uplink data at this time, and consequently, cannot obtain, through the demodulation, the data that is transmitted by the UE on the SCC, leading to a data transmission failure.

  • L1 is used to receive the demodulation indication sent by the L2 layer, and demodulate the uplink data on the SCC based on the demodulation indication.
  • the secondary base station can receive the PCC uplink scheduling result sent by the primary base station, and may determine, through L2 based on the PCC scheduling result, the demodulation format used for demodulating the uplink data on the SCC, to send a demodulation indication to L1.
  • the demodulation indication is used to instruct L1 to demodulate the uplink data on the SCC based on a format used when there is no periodic CQI channel associated signaling on a PUSCH.
  • the secondary base station may demodulate the uplink data through L1 based on the scheduling indication and the format used when there is no periodic CQI channel associated signaling on the PUSCH.
  • the secondary base station when needing to determine the demodulation format used for demodulating the uplink data on the SCC, the secondary base station does not receive the PCC scheduling result sent by the primary base station, and consequently, cannot send a demodulation indication to L1 through L2. Consequently, when receiving the uplink data that is sent by the UE on the SCC, the secondary base station cannot demodulate the uplink data through L1 based on the demodulation indication.
  • an embodiment of this application provides a carrier aggregation-based demodulation method, to successfully demodulate the uplink data on the SCC at the periodic CQI moment, without a need to avoid uplink scheduling on the SCC, thereby increasing available resources for transmitting the uplink data by UE, and increasing an uplink data transmission rate.
